Members of CHEST leadership, faculty, and staff traveled to Basel, Switzerland, in June, to participate in the CHEST Joint Congress, which was co-hosted with the Swiss Respiratory Society, Schweizersche Gesellschaft Fur Pneumologie (SPG). Overall, there were approximately 1,100 total attendees, representing over 40 countries, who enjoyed the scientific program and gained valuable chest medicine knowledge.

Among the many topics presented were diagnosis and treatment of ILD; biologics for severe asthma; EBUS for molecular analysis; and ICS in COPD. Plus, hands-on, interactive workshops were offered for learning or reviewing more procedural skills. We invite you to view webcasts of five of the Basel sessions at bit.ly/chestsgp2017.
